johnny glegg – third world child كلمات اغاني
[verse 1: johnny clegg]
bits of songs and broken drums
are all he could recall
so he spoke to me
in a b-st-rd tongue
carried on the silence of the guns
[verse 2: johnny clegg]
it’s been a long long time
since they first came
and marched through our village
they taught us to forget our past
and live the future in their image
[chorus: johnny clegg]
they said
’you should learn to speak a little bit of english
don’t be scared of a suit and tie
learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner
— i am a third world child
[verse 3: johnny clegg]
the outworld’s dreams are the currency
that grip the city streets
i live them out
but i have my own
hidden somewhere deep inside of me
[verse 4: johnny clegg]
in between my father’s fields
and the citadels of the rule
lies a no-man’s land which i must cross
to find my stolen jewel
[verse 5: johnny clegg]
they said
’you should learn to speak a little bit of english
maybe practise birth control
keep away from controversial politics
so to save my third world soul
[chorus: johnny clegg]
they said
’you should learn to speak a little bit of english
don’t be scared of a suit and tie
learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner
— i am a third world child
wo! ilanga lobunzima
nalo liyashona
ukuthini asazi
mus’ ukukhala
mntanami
(oh! we don’t know when this sun of hardship will set
don’t cry, my child.)
[verse 6: johnny clegg]
bits of songs and broken drums
are all he could recall
but the future calls his name
out loud
carried on the violence of the guns
